Top pick: #4 (BLACK N BEAUTY) (5-2) - New York shipper hasn't raced since last June, but was in career best form at that time and he's working fast for his return. 5yo has a new trainer (John Sadler 29% with new arrivals) and this Ontario-bred has a fine record at this distance (4-1-3-0). Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Blueskiesnrainbows) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he missed by a neck here at this level on Jan 24th in his first off an 8 week freshening and a trainer change to Jerry Hollendorfer. Major player and i almost made him the top pick.
3rd pick: #6 (Castaway) (4-1) - Baffet trained colt chased and tired to finish 2 1/2 back of "Blueskiesnrainbows" last out in his first race sice last April. He was a stakes winnr early in 2012 and is in the three horse win mix.
4th pick: #1 (Oilsblackgold) (6-1) - Both of his wins have come on real dirt and he had a nice "prep" for this at Golden Gate on Feb 3rd in his first start since Sep 20th.
